"The novel deals with character rather than incident, and is evolved
from one of the most terrible of moral problems with a subtlety not
unlike that of Hawthorne. One cannot enumerate all the fine points
of artistic skill which make this study so wonderful in its insight,
so rare in its combination of dramatic power and tenderness."--_The
Critic._

"Mrs. Burnett discovers gracious secrets in rough and forbidding
natures--the sweetness that often underlies their bitterness--the soul
of goodness in things evil. She seems to have an intuitive perception
of character. If we apprehend her personages, and I think we do
clearly, it is not because she describes them to us, but because they
reveal themselves in their actions. Mrs. Burnett's characters are as
veritable as Thackeray's."--RICHARD HENRY STODDARD.
_William Allen Butler._
